Pod Stallions 29: Planet of the Apes 1

It's been a long time coming, the first foray into what is the quintessential science fiction block buster of the early 1970s, the Planet of the Apes Phenom.Episode 1 deals with the first movie (we're going to take our time with this) and brushes lightly on the actors, the makeup, the script, our man crushes on Roddy McDowell and why the film had almost no merchandise when first released.We also take our normal diversions like discovering Jason was on Deep Space 9 (!), Malcom McDowell knows his movie trivia, why Brian hates bowling for dollars, Mego toys, Rex Harrison, MST 3K and a Man called Sloane.
